They act as Emergency Responders with us. The southern ute have been an incredible and incredibly diligent and being embedded in our command center, working on this. The professionalism has been wonderful, so we will make sure they are properly reimbursed for expenses. The 2nd process is the claims process, what damages have it occurred, and we use the federal claims tort act in order to process those claims. How does the federal tort claims act help the navajo . They lost a huge amount of irrigating water which can have longterm devastating effects of drought continues and they do not have the water now or in the future . How can they be made whole . Two things that are happening here as well. We are talking to the navajo about how they get reimbursed. We need to work with the president as well as the Navajo Nation epa to reimbursed for their expenses. The 2nd issue is the claim process. I want to make sure that we are all aware that the reimbursement process is quite different. While
Neutrality issue, something that the ftc had been involved in. How has your work changed, how pressure goal changed since the fcc decided on Net Neutrality . I can tell youre a too obvious if you say the Net Neutrality just been semisettled because and theres still more to go in that story. But the issue isnt, she mentioned this, the common carrier exemption. So now that the fcc has reclassified Broadband Internet service as a title ii Service Companies common carrier service. So it creates a hurdle for the ftc to bring some of our traditional Consumer Protection enforcement in this space. A hurdle toward antitrust authority that doesnt run into the problem. So i am personally very concerned that we may not be able to continue to protect consumers as well online because of the reclassification. Commissioner mcsweeny come to you should and shouldnt . I. T. This is an era of long term bipartisan agreement at the ftc. We really give you the commentary exemption as an anachronism. When it
There was pressure buildup at the Gold King Mine. They made a judgment that turned out to be wrong. Whether constitutes Due Diligence and factors, thats what the department will have to advise us. We will follow up to see if there were mistakes made, if they could have avoided this or if there was other mistakes. Thank you. I read a long and detailed testimony to be offered later he points out concerns about the 3 million gallons but also about whats coming in the years to come and the Navajo Nation will need. Is there any reason to think that this is more than the trigger for this attention . I think it has raised visibility of these issues in a way that im hoping something good can come out of it so we will be better off in terms of how we manage these sites moving forward. Weve been working with the navajo for years. We will continue to do that. We will address concerns that they have identified as best we can. We now know the water may not be at the level it needs to be so that we
Street. Weve had cases in which we did testing. In the testing much like during the lunch counters in the 1960s. We sent welltrained people into Police Departments to ask for the form to complain about police misconduct. I can tell you go on the internet and i love google. Go on the internet and google these cases and what youll see is a young man well trained asking nicely for the report to fill out, but when they stood there, first, the desk sergeant said i wont give you a form unless you tell me what to complain about. He said i dont want to talk about it now. I want to take it home and fill it out. The sergeant said, i wont let you do that until you tell me. Its my responsibility to oversee the Police Officers. He said it nicely, i dont want to talk about it now. I just, police, sir, want to take it home and fill it out. While this was going on another Police Walked out the back door of the police station.

Weekend, concrete solutions to stop this pattern. We need to ease racial tension in america by rebuilding our communities in a balanced way where everyone receives equal education. Thats where it starts. Job opportunities and a fair shot at the american dream. Equal education is where it starts, but the home is where it really starts, isnt it . Its the home. The sad truth about this kind of an incident is that its root causes are tied together with societal racism that brand black citizens as predators and Police Practice that treats them as potential perpetrators. Breeding distrust between Law Enforcement and the community that they are bound to protect. Responding to this destructive cycle requires a broadbased approach.
